Lyrics:
Far to the east ruled the Samurai, mystic warrior class,
Honorable brave, bark armoured man, donning hideous mask.
700 years of reigning Japan, the masters of attack,
Dominators of the isle of dragons, fearsom military caste.

In battle no prisoners for the enemy, noble self-sacrifice,
Crooked crowns sentenced to die, pay the bloody price.
Sacred rites held close by the fighters, no place for disgrace,
Taught to stand with dignity while staring in death's face.

chorus:
Honor even in death, soldiers glorified,
The dagger plunges deep, slashes side to side.
Honor even in death, digrace is defied,
The end they never fear, give their life before their pride.
Honor even in death, soldiers glorified,
The dagger plunges deep, slashes side to side.
Honor even in death, digrace is defied,
The end they never fear, give their life before their pride.

Gracefully, with steady hand,
He takes the dagger that lays before him.
Collects his thoughts for the last time,
And plunges the dirge from left to right.
No sign of pain on his face,
With the final cut withdraws the blade.
Loyal companion by his side,
Lifts the sword to help him die.
Lightning flash, one swift blow,
Honor is done, warriors head rolls.

In a mans glory, his spirit is stored, his very being inside,
Dignity respected, courage is shown by his ritual suicide.
No room for dishonor in hari kari's dagger gashing side to side,
Under the rising sun the core is exposed, to reveal a new life.

(repeat chorus)

today's metal is definitely plastic, lacking innovation, everything was played 20 years ago, thrash, death, black metal were played 25 years ago, actually all genres were invented back then, and today's metal is copying, eating its tail. I listened to this in 1988 or beginning of 1989 when I was 15. That was just a pure genius. I didn't know the words, but that was pure beauty I experienced back then.

@necrovomit74 The problem with today's "metal" is that it's infested with scene kids who think gay screamo vocals, emo pop punk choruses, and downtuned chug breakdowns are "br00tal."

I've said this a million times but, I was born in the wrong era.... This is music, just beatyfull, those riffs , the vocals the lyrics. I'm 16 and i'm glad that this style of music will never die for me......

[admp4lyfe]

this song is sick and the guys who commented above must not like having open ears about other metal just like all other music in any genre they've changed and todays metal is much heavier and faster and way way way more complicated to play (some) but its deffantly heavier which is awsome but i love this song have some variety in ur life people and quit being so judgmental about shit

@vild3r Check out Evile and Antichrist. They're new bands with an 80s thrash sound. If you also like more melodic stuff like Iron Maiden then check out Enforcer and White Wizzard too.
